Find one beautiful thing every day and take a photo of it.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Beauty Day 172 Backyard
My friends’ backyard
is the prettiest backyard
I have ever seen
Mike is a landscaper/gardener
and now that I mention it
how strange…
every time I visit
he is sitting back relaxing
yet he alone does all this labor
mostly folk art
no classes no lessons
just a natural love
for beauty and color
finding ceramics, dinnerware
broken pieces of tile
he smashes–creates anew
creatures and birds
architecture and seas
while growing plants and flowers
is his specialty
talking birds participate
from their safe house just beyond
Mike’s a wonder
as is Claudia my friend
who prepares a meal fit for royalty
from their garden just below
what makes these people most special
is their love
for everyone
for me
for you
